Description

Patented, easy-to-use spice grater finely grates hard spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and more in a snap. Grater features an ergonomic soft-grip handle and a reusable cover. Blade is made in the USA. Dishwasher safe. 9" x 1½" x 1".

The circular design on this Microplane premium classic spice grater lets you easily grate just the right amount of hard spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon onto hot beverages. Non-clogging etched teeth release ultra-fine shavings of chocolate or nuts onto desserts or whipped toppings. Grates hard cheese onto salads, pasta or casseroles. Excellent for grating and adding ginger or turmeric root to recipes. The precision grating edge is also ideal for zesting, removing only the rind, not the bitter pith. Blade cover included. Ergonomic handle for a comfortable grip. Surgical-grade stainless steel and durable plastic construction. Dishwasher-safe. Blade is made in the USA.

Microplane's precise razor-like edges are formed with a revolutionary process called photo-etching, creating edges that grate finely on contact, without the uneven tugging and shredding of inferior graters

Customer Reviews

I love this small microplane! You can use it for anything that need a fine grate, it's takes up little room and is perfect for spices and ginger.Sometimes I use it to top soups with shaved almond or hard cheese

First of all, let me say that I love my standard Microplane grater. And I haven't been enchanted w/a lot of the specialized graters -- except for this one.

It does a finer grate than the standard Microplane. And it is absolutely brilliant for when you quickly need some finely grated spice. It only takes ~a minute to get a teaspoon of grated nutmeg.

I regularly use it on nutmeg -- but I also use it for dried white ginger when I need powdered ginger for a recipe. I was also surprised about how effective it is on using almost the whole nutmeg. I will say that one of my friends was bemused when she opened my whole nutmegs' spice container and found a nutmeg that looked like someone had taken a bite out of it.

It's one of the items that I keep hanging from the pot rack above my stove so it's readily available. Easy to add a bit of nutmeg to a cream soup or curry

I have been pouring from the original olive oil bottle and its making a mess on the counters and in my cabinets. Oil is dripping down the sides on the original so I think this will allow me to leave it out and spill less oil.
